(ex) John, who is Tom's new roommate, wants to contribute three hundred dollars to or for the monthly rent.

Which preposition is correct? Thanks.

The verb "contribute" takes the preposition "to". The use of "for" is quite rare e.g. in sentences like:

- I will contribute $20 for two years only. (contribution for + duration)- I want to contribute for the support of such destitute children.- My company is required by law to contribute for benefits to retirees and for medical insurance.

It is interesting to know that "contribution for ..." is more usual than "contribute for".
